Entering an Internal Order

In the Purchase Orders module, select 'Internal Orders' from the Registers menu, or click the [Int. Orders] button in the Master Control panel.

The 'Internal Orders: Browse' window is opened, showing Internal Orders already entered.

Internal Orders are shown sorted by Internal Order Number: this can be changed by clicking on one of the other column headings.

Also shown are the Date and Status of each Internal Order, their Departments and References and the initials and name of the Persons who initiated them. The Status column is blank for Internal Orders that are of Submitted Status, or contains a dash (-) for those of Authorised Status and a tick (√) for those of Delivered or Declined Status.

To enter a new Internal Order, click [New] in the Button Bar or use the Ctrl-N (Windows and Linux) or ⌘-N (Macintosh) keyboard shortcut. Alternatively, highlight an Internal Order similar to the one you want to enter and click [Duplicate] on the Button Bar.

The 'Internal Order: New' window is opened, empty if you clicked [New] or containing a duplicate of the highlighted Internal Order. In the case of the duplicate, the Date of the new Internal Order will be the current date, not the date from the original record.

Since the amount of information stored about each Internal Order will not fit on a single screen, the Internal Order window has been divided into four cards. At the top of each is the header. This contains the Internal Order Number, the Date and the originator's initials and Name. There are four named buttons ('tabs') in the header.

By clicking the tabs you can navigate between cards. The header is always visible, as a reminder of the Internal Order you are working with.
